I would like to know where  I could get indy for N2. I don't have Indy
racing just Nascar2.

As far as I know Indy is not available for N2 in the stores. I read
somewhere that Papyrus was going to add it eventually. Maybe
the folks over at the Tony George camp are asking too much for
the licensing rights.

When N1 was vogue there were alot of web sites that offered
add on tracks you could download free. Indy was one of them but you
had to have Indy Car (it was a track converter download). I am certain
that N2 will have the similar upgrades offered. It's a shame that
improvements on N1 & N2 have all been made by the game's users and not
the manufacturer. That doesn't say much for Sierra or Papyrus, or does
it?

Or maybe it does.  What is it you want Papyrus/Sierra to do?  You
weren't happy with the Grand National Track Pack?  You wish to have
Papyrus lose a HUGE court settlement against Tony George and go out of
business?  They would love to have the Brickyard (and Daytona too), but
they don't have the rights to them.  I highly doubt that Papyrus would
be on solid legal grounds to market a convertor for tracks they no longer
have rights to.  Instead they have reworked the tracks they had rights
to for NASCAR2 and gave us BGN tracks (and a couple of fantasy tracks).
The latter being available for free via a download from their website.
And let's see, what about NROS?  I guess that was an improvement by the
"game's users and not the manufacturer"?

On the other hand, Papyrus has made their sim programs rather "open" and
allow easy access to updating cars, drivers skills (many sims don't
allow or provide for this).  

I'd rather look at the glass as half full, while you apprently look at
the glass and say, "Damn, who drank my other half!" ;-)
